A life-size X-wing made of Legos

For those of you who prefer your “Star Wars” in 2×6 blocks, the folks at Lego have taken their design to the max. Of course.

The starwars.com blog has a photo gallery of a 1:1 replica of the X-wing at Times Square in New York, where it was rolled out in advance of Cartoon Network’s premiere of “The Yoda Chronicles” on Wednesday. It’ll then be transported to Legoland out in California.
